Taillights

We have 2007 3400RL. Several years ago while stopped in a bare lot for lunch, I realized our left tail light, signal filament, was burned out. I didn't like the fact someone behind me would see my...

Low Voltage

This has been/is a most interesting and especially entertaining discussion. We have a power surge protector I hard wired into our 3400RL and it has paid us unknown dividends. A few years ago we...

LED Strip Lights

I have bought many 5m (16.4') strip lights from "Banggood.com" with decent results and very good prices. They are, of course, Chinese, but they have worked well for me. Most 12V strips are 5m, or...

Convenience Centre

We have a 2007 3400RL (love it) and it has a fresh water tank fill switch in the convenience centre. Seems funny that the 2006 and 2008 model years do NOT have it but my 2007 does.

LED rear lights

A few years ago (maybe 10) the left rear light bulb was out on our 2007 3400RL and it bothered me a lot that anyone behind me could not see me turn signal. I promptly replaced the bulb but decided...
